A big thanks to everyone for coordinating and editing drafts from past meeting notes which will be up shortly in the P2P2P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/.. As a few people are on personal holidays and others are unwell due to Covid, we are a little behind on finalizing and transferring Notes from google docs and will post updates in the coming weeks.
Thank you to @lmurillom for drafting and publishing last week’s notes and @webcommsat for preparing the agenda with the team and other Make Teams.
A reminder to check the draft notes is circulated at the meeting every week. Please review and check your WordPress.org ID is listed on collaborations that you have actively contributed to. We rely on this to update the final notes and to put them into our charts to show where we need extra contributors, and how we are having an input and impact on the work assigned/requested from other teams.
You can volunteer to contribute to notes for future meetings, please contact @lmurillom and @meher. Please note that the initial draft is needed by Friday 17.00 UTC each week to help with actions and follow-ups that might be needed. We are excited to continue to expand our contributors who are helping draft the notes!
3. Action
@webcommsat asked if anyone else has an action from recent weeks/months to update on, that did not come up later in the agenda under specific make teams. Please do feel free to add your updates in this slack thread.
Read the social media pack published in this post.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this social media pack. The collaboration task is to create an HTMLHTMLHTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. click to share links only for Twitter for each of the social posts mentioned on the pack. More details on this task can be found in this Slack thread.
@eidolonnight had some concerns about the click-to-tweet implementation. More details can be found in this Slack thread.
@webcommsat mentioned that as with amplification packs, the idea is that people will adapt the text for their networks. In terms of the click to share, this is something we are testing only to see if it can work and easily enable adaptation as there are new features coming on Twitter and Facebook. More details can be found in this Slack thread.
If any contributor to the collaborations is missing from the document, please do add your name in this Slack thread as we are trying to finalize the list and know not everyone added their details
A big thanks to everyone, especially to those who have spent a lot of hours on these and other tasks.

GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/
You will see that thanks to the feedback and testing we have updated names of repositories and with GitHub’s new functions it will lend itself even more to taking over the majority of roles of our TrelloTrelloProject management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. board that we have been changing due to ongoing changes in the free account.
Thanks for all the reports of cards being deleted, which sadly we have no control over. But the GitHub setup will avoid a lot of this and we have done a lot of testing with those who need to give us information too, especially from CoreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress..

continue to use this to help re-find messages on slack and information provided by other teams. If you love spreadsheets and want to help with this, come and join the projects and actions groups. Volunteers needed: two of our previous contributors are currently not able to give time due to the pandemic, and we would appreciate an extra hand as we work on how this integrates with how we use GitHub.

Actions
We will be running live walkthroughs of GitHub starting next week and looking for volunteers to help write wiki content to help those less familiar with GitHub and aimed at specific tasks.
We know from our tests that this proved to be more effective in helping people use and update the tasks rather than generic help information.
Updates from the Training Team Reps via: @courane01
Who can Learn help – think of it like our audience/user type/customer avatarAvatarAn avatar is an image or illustration that specifically refers to a character that represents an online user. It’s usually a square box that appears next to the user’s name.
We’d like to collaborate with marketing around the keywords for lesson plans. These plans will form the basis of other media content on the site. Each month we’ll have several new lessons. Ideally SEO research should be done in advance. Ex: Query loop lesson plan – what keywords are people using for this functionality? And GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ has renamed this already I think, so I’d expect the new name in 5.9.
Content audit plugin request – did we want to finish how that proposal is drafted? Target audience: any devs (ideally existing dev teams) to help build this out. We met about this roughly a month ago – before the revision tool preview.
We’ve got an upcoming work day for captioning all the videos on Learn for accessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).

A lot of people had volunteered for this task but we have not heard back from everyone. We do understand that there may have been job changes including outside the sector, impact from the pandemic, work crises or family demands. We appreciate letting the team know on tasks please and we will try and support anyone needing extra assistance on the task. We wish everyone well and hope they are safe.

We need volunteers for this task. If you have experience in writing and editing and can help us catch up, please do let us know in this thread or in coming weeks in the marketing channel on slack. Experienced copy-editor and image editing help will be particularly appreciated.

Actions Contributors needed to help create this working with the contributor ladder.
Contributors needed to help further with the GitHub board being developed and tested.
B) Returning more to pre-covid information provision for weekly meetings
Changes the team made in response to feedback and requests for help:
adding more info into our slack meetings in response to requests for this so that people can contribute async due to timezone issues made more difficult with home and work changes caused by the pandemic and lockdowns/ self-isolating
this also means that it can take a lot longer to run through the meetings
Solution proposed: we have piloted adding a lot more of the info into the agendas on the blog site and, where possible, asking task updates to add to the google doc ahead of the meeting. This also reduces any pressure people feel to type or dictate fast during the meeting. We would like to try and return to meetings completing within the hour and any big collaboration moved to the end of the meeting making it easier for people joining from other teams. Further details in meeting slack https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C0GKJ7TFA/p1628696923251000 Feedback requested on solution: if this causes anyone a difficulty or if particular information would still be useful during the meeting.

In our last meeting, @courane01shared information on the RevisionsRevisionsThe WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update.

Extended pluginPluginA plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress.
